Flights to and from Sharm el-Sheikh have been cancelled by East Midlands Airport and Robin Hood Airport, over fears that a Russian plane was brought down there by a bomb.

Airlines which provide flights to the resort from the two airports have officially cancelled all outbound flights to the resort until at least Thursday, November 12.

This follows an announcement from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), advising against all but essential travel to Sharm el-Sheikh - causing all flights to and from the area to be officially suspended across the country.

This has also left thousands of people stranded overseas.

Spokesmen for both airports confirmed the flights were currently suspended.

They also recommended any passengers with queries and concerns to contact their airline directly.

Thomson runs flights from both the East Midlands and Robin Hood airports and has already suspended several flights over the next seven days.

The airline is giving full refunds to people who booked to travel to the resort in this period.
